Use up some fabric scraps to make this cute, appliquéd eyglass holder.
You probably have everything you need to make one of these.
Use your glasses as a guide for how big to cut.

4. Sew the edges. With right sides together, fold the case up (long enough to fit your glasses), and seam the sides with a running stitch.


 Fold the case inside out and pin...


...then stitch up the sides with a running stitch as well.

Reinforce the top of each seam with a few extra stitches for strength.


 Make a few extra stitches at each side of the opening as this area will get the most wear.
